Just like the setting of a diamond emphasizes its beauty, the properly selected evening dress emphasizes the beauty of a body shape.
Body shape is the starting point in choosing a dress.
We took our latest collection of evening dresses with many dresses for every taste to illustrate this article.
PEAR BODY SHAPE
Happy possessors: Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyonce.
Features: narrow shoulders, thin arms, small breasts, narrow waist and wide hips.
Perfect evening dress: fitted A-line silhouette with a skirt below the knee – it will look great if flared (dresses with a flared skirt are often chosen by fashionista Jennifer Lopez). Try on evening dresses with uncovered shoulders or with a deep décolleté as well.
HOURGLASS BODY SHAPE
Happy possessors: Salma Hayek, Kate Winslet, Scarlett Johansson.
Features: well-proportioned arms and legs, well-defined waist, proportions are close to 90-60-90.
Perfect evening dress: the choice is complicated by the fact that almost any evening dress will be perfect on “hourglass”. But for wow-effect at any event, we recommend to choose evening dresses:
- with deep V-neck;
- fitted;
- with an accent on a slender waistline.
APPLE BODY SHAPE
Happy possessors: Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Renee Zellwegger, Demi Moore.
Features: wide shoulders, narrow hips, long and slender legs, athletic body
Perfect evening dress:
- with a narrow V- or U-shaped décolleté – in contrast to deep V-cut recommended for the "Hourglass". However, one of the most famous owners of the “Apple (triangle downwards)”, Charlize Theron, likes to violate this rule;
- dresses fitting hips and flared downwards – visually such an outfit will "round" the hips and make the waist look slenderer.
BANANA BODY SHAPE
Happy possessors: Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Keira Knightley.
Features: Hips and shoulders of equal width, long and slender legs, proportional figure without a well-defined waist.
Perfect evening dress:
- narrow down to the floor – to emphasize slender legs and soften the silhouette;
- strapless – perfect, if there is an additional emphasis on the waist.
And remember: The rules were meant to be broken. Experiment, try and create your own fashion!
